31: Choosing to Realize and Step into Your Power

What if you chose to act in your power and strength instead of playing small? What if you supported and lifted up other women who are strong and powerful? These questions and the choice you have in responding to them are at the heart of today’s episode which is all about the impact that choosing to step into your power can have upon your life and the lives of others around you.

We start off by looking at the conditioning that is ingrained in us as women and the effects it can have, especially the fear of being judged and not accepted if we choose to realize and step into our power. We also explore some common perceptions of powerful women, and the many, many benefits, to ourselves and others, of supporting and celebrating these courageous females. So many amazing things can and do happen when we as women unlearn everything we’ve been led to believe about being female in our personal and professional lives. While today’s message is one that all can relate to, I can guarantee you that, if you find this notion of stepping up, using our voice, and taking up space moves you out of your comfort zone even a little bit, today’s episode is definitely a ‘must listen’ for you.

Quotes:

“That desire to be small, and to not use my voice, and to not take up space, informed so many of my decisions later in life.”

“We want to be accepted and loved, and that desire creates so much fear when it comes to venturing out and to becoming more.”

“Stop apologizing…walk taller…be decisive.”

“The reward for following the rules, and shrinking and playing small is belonging. And belonging is hard wired in us, so this is a hard one to switch.”

“You can be humble and still be powerful.”

“We should be cheering each other on, not bringing each other down.”

“We all want the same thing – we want to feel like we matter, and we want to feel stronger and more capable, more confident, we want to achieve our goals.”
